I’m surprised that there are only 5 responses top this thread as I write this considering everyone and their uncle has an opinion on every “problem” that faces us today.
I want to publicly thank the people who stopped to offer me assistance on Rt 17 when they saw me there with my car.
To the person who stopped and said “I have nothing to offer except my presence, so you dont have to stand on the side of the road, alone,” Yasher Koach and thank you.
To the couple who stopped and offered cold drinks and pastries while I was waiting for AAA, thank you.
To the numerous people who slowed down and asked if I needed assistance in any way, thank you.
To the gentleman who saw me waiting on the side of the road at the Rock Hill Service Station (where I was towed by AAA), who stopped and asked if everything was OK and how he could be of assistance, thank you.
Your chessed and offers of assistance should be a zechus for all klal yisroel.
I hope this thread will generate at least as many responses as any other thread offering much fodder for the kategor as we head into Tisha Bav.
